OpenAI faced backlash after claiming credit for solving a Millennium Prize math problem. Mathematicians Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alapatati allege OpenAI front-ran their upcoming paper by utilizing their private chat logs and Codex inputs to finish the proof.
Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accused OpenAI of using unpublished research submitted via Codex to claim credit for solving the Navier-Stokes math problem. Buckmaster claims an OpenAI representative threatened his career when he refused to hide his co-author's identity.
NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accused OpenAI of rushing to claim credit for cracking the Navier-Stokes equations only after hearing of his research. Buckmaster had run drafts through OpenAI's Codex, raising concerns that the lab trained models on his sessions.
Ajeya Cotra and other independent researchers from METR and Redwood Research analyzed 1,300 agent transcripts inside OpenAI. The team had to build custom Codex-driven tools to parse the massive volume of automated thoughts and actions.
Ben and Theo analyze the uneconomical token consumption of coding agents. Ben notes Cursor is likely unprofitable on its virtual machine cloud agents, while Claude Code remains highly expensive compared to the token efficiency of OpenAI's Codex.
Theo reports that OpenAI's GPT Image 2 vastly improves text rendering, high-resolution details, and layout coherence. Ben highlights its utility in the Codex desktop app for analyzing codebases and directly generating accurate software architecture diagrams.
Tara Seshan explains that ChatGPT Work Mode utilizes the same underlying engine as Codex but abstracts technical UI elements like file trees. The long-term goal is to eliminate toggles, allowing the system to automatically choose the correct model.
Tara Seshan highlights Sites in Codex and Work Mode as an early realization of personal, malleable software. Users can generate, customize, and host fully functional, database-backed web applications using only natural language prompts.
Ali K. Miller argues that Codex's live voice mode acts as an ambient, voice-controlled operating system rather than a simple assistant. This mode allows users to execute complex, multi-step computer tasks via natural dialogue during daily activities.
DK uses the slash goal feature in Codex and Claude to run autonomous, multi-hour background development tasks. Additionally, DK leverages GrokBot's native Twitter integration to autonomously track and summarize video generation workflows from specific content creators.
Ethan Mollick tested ChatGPT 5.6 Soul and Codex on his upcoming book, verifying 195 references in 30 minutes. The system produced entirely accurate notes with zero hallucinations, illustrating the elimination of basic errors in advanced models.
Ethan Mollick demonstrates that AI can directly control a computer's interface using mouse and browser actions. He successfully had ChatGPT 5.6 Soul and Codex download Blender to design a specific 3D model despite having no personal experience with the software.
The Loop expedition guides users in building agentic loops for non-technical workflows. The curriculum teaches users how to handle system failures and run loops using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Grockbot migrated and categorized 22,000 files from iCloud to Google Drive overnight. Brett Winton also used the agent to successfully scrape utilization rates across COSM entertainment venues, a task that OpenAI's Codex failed to complete.
